a bit stuck

my neck's been giving me grief today, i think it's because i slept skew last night but since i got back from jogging it's been getting worse. singer came over to drop off a couple of discs and sit with us for israeli survivor - she massaged my neck while we watched and it hasn't helped as much as it should have :(

speaking of jogging - on the way back i suffered an expertly executed suicide attack by a terrorist bee... the damn thing managed to fly straight into my armpit and the initial pain was tremendous. as soon as the pain subsided i began to get paranoid that it would swell or that it hadn't been a mere bee (i didn't see the body, only the sting) - i'm extremely glad that my arm's alright and i haven't died yet. yay!

i've spent the past few hours playing games and sitting arbitrarily online, and i don't have anything to feel bad about. my holiday has begun!

i tried to burn a few more discs, and out of six attempts i have three successes. there's a chance i might reboot into windows, and a slighter greater chance that i'll just give up on the whole thing.

s'pity.

i complained to the le guffre guys that i keep receiving promotional offers by email and i don't have a printer... after explaining that i'm not going to go and buy a printer just to redeem their coupons they conceded that it would be alright if i just rocked up and whispered that i'm "in the loop".

right.

i'm already contemplating next year's holiday. i wonder if it's reasonable?

there is talk online of trent reznor's success. i'm really glad to have been a small part of it, and i'm really glad that the new avenue for artists has had some tar put down.
i don't think it's the death blow for the RIAA, but it's most certainly a good start.
